Thread: Hone of the Day

Playing around with one of my personal Tosuke Kamisori today
Trying a Naniwa SS 12k with a light slurry to see how close I can get to a J-nat edge feel

Basically using all the tricks I would use on a J-nat using the 12k to see how far I can push it




Hone On !!!

Refreshed my ivory Joseph Rodgers frameback on ‘big ugly’, a deep layer Nakayama koppa from Alex G., very, very, fine and very, very, ugly, lol. But the edges that it makes are beautiful.

Had the pleasure of honing these three well cared razors for a local srp member yesterday.
I used his coticule, a beautiful and very capable stone. It’s a luxury to use a wide coticule such as this one.

I had never handled a rigarazor before and was quite impressed with the fit and finish of this razor. It’s a heavy and imposing blade and the horn scales are very nicely crafted. The bevel was small and uniform, something I don’t often see on custom wedges.

For my tastes, the Le Grelot was my favourite of the three.

I can confirm that the shave with 'Le Grelot' was smooth and comfortable. A real pleasure!

thanks again Zayid

Honed 3 blades this morning all on my new Maruka with thick slurries. The experience was special , i had to hone one handed . All 3 HHT effortlessly

Honed up these 7 razors today for my brother. Debado 1k / Nakayama Maruka
A Hart, 2 Dovos, 3 T.I's, and a W&B ..

I am coming to terms with this new stone. The feedback is amazing , i can feel the metal being cut and it is very aggressive, that you can tell just from how it tears up the Naguras..

Have a great weekend..

Late-night honing session, just finishing this '64 Soviet VOLGA razor up for joelkerr, who was kind enough to bring to my attention a local Kijiji seller who had some very affordable Jnats for sale. This mizukihara is my first Jnat, and for the price it was a fun gamble, I really wasn't expecting it to blow my mind. But this thing is GREAT! It has an inclusion that I need to check out more carefully (which might account for its price), so I've just been slurrying it on my translucent ark. Really stoked about this stone so far. Now to shave-test this razor and try to get some sleep before I hand it off to Joel tomorrow...
